Following up on Murray Waas' kick-ass article in the National Journal on Monday -- where we learned Bush basically told Cheney to trash Joe Wilson -- Dan Froomkin wants to know more about what Bush knew:
...it certainly seems clear by now that Bush knows a lot more about this case -- and his White House's enthusiasm for discrediting its opponents -- than he's let on in public.Those are all questions that need answers. We'll probably never get answers...but Bush needs to be asked.
Isn't it about time Bush stopped pretending ignorance about this story -- and came clean on his own role? Why should that information only be shared with criminal prosecutors?
Is it approved White House procedure to distribute misinformation? Is it okay to out a covert CIA operative? If it's not okay was he disappointed in how top deputies like Cheney and Rove -- both still very much at work at the White House -- carried out his orders?
